- Dark Eden was chosen as the New Scientist Book Club's November read, and the novel is set on a rogue planet outside the Milky Way.
- Chris Beckett describes working through the science behind the book's night world, and New Scientist is also running an extract from Dark Eden.
Why it matters: For readers of the New Scientist Book Club, the November slot goes to a setting with no sun: a rogue planet outside the Milky Way. Beckett's decision to expose the science behind that night world gives the pick a second layer — the reasoning behind the life, not only the life itself.
